The online publication of Plays
of Jewish Interest, compiled by the Foundation, is available
on All About Jewish Theatre, the global Web site to promote
and enhance Jewish theater and performing arts worldwide. The most comprehensive
and up-to-date searchable database of its kind, the resource includes
approximately 1,500 plays, along with comprehensive information regarding
authors, cast and casting requirements, production notes and history,
subject matter, synopses, script sources and reviews. The database
can be searched using a variety of criteria, and contributions may be
submitted so that the list grows and stays up to date. The Foundation
published the first version in 1982, and it immediately became an invaluable
resource for theater companies, scholars, and educators. Edited
by Michael Posnick and Dr. Ellen Schiff, the 2007 expanded edition focuses
primarily on Jewish plays written in and translated into English, as
well as Israeli and Yiddish plays. All About Jewish Theatre
was initiated, designed, and launched by Moti Sandak.
